Finally afordable broadband has come to my city, Dublin -Ireland, and will be available in a couple of weeks. Plus at the same time I've just picked up a laptop. So now I have a home PC (W98, P3 500mhz), a laptop (WXP,Celeron 1.5ghz) and a new ASDL broadband connection all to hook up.
I want to use my PC for the ASDL hook up and then be able to connected my laptop & PC to swop files. The broadband suppliers, my local telephone company Eircom, offer an ASDL modem or an ETHERNET modem (I only have a 56K in my PC). Would the Ethernet modem be suitable for my PC not only to take the ASDL connection but for hooking my laptop up aswell? My laptop does have a LAN port.
So basically can I connected my laptop from the LAN port to the PC ETHERNET modem and swop files? Or will I have to buy a seperate network card to achive this?
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated, thanks!
